Nov 22: Fascial Fundamentals
This workshop will give participants an introduction to the “Taylor Technique” style of myofascial assessment & treatment, and how to incorporate this work into their current practice. Specifically, strain/counterstrain, using limbs as levers, pin & drag, skin rolling, pick up & roll are all shown in several areas of the body, focusing on palpation of superficial and deep layers of fascia, and differentiating between the two.
Learning about the elements of fascia and how to dialogue on this topic with prospective and current clients, will help participants incorporate this work into their current massage practice, while managing client expectations. Therapists will become proficient at using these techniques everywhere in the body, and the focused hands-on practice in palpation, is a skill that will be demonstrated throughout the seminar, in addition to body mechanics.
This class is the platform for the other 9 topics in the level 1 series, and gives the healthcare practitioner a firm foundation in applying palpative skill effectively. DVDs and downloads are available for all ten topics in this myofascial certification series, as well as ten level 2 DVDs and ten level 3 DVDs now available at www.taylortechniquesinc.com. Level 1 textbook is available in downloadable and hard copy formats on amazon/kindle!
Nov 23: How to Give a Full Body Myofascial Session
This workshop combines many of the techniques learned in other Taylor myofascial workshops, to form a more generalized full body “protocol”. A full sequence of treatment ideas is shown starting in prone, with discussion on what to do if you find areas of concern/complaint that need more specific techniques applied (yet still be able to fit everything into one session). The supine portion of the session starts on the lower body, and ends at the head & neck, once again addressing possible areas where some clients might need more specific work, but keeping the therapist focused on achieving a full body result in the time allotted.

This workshop will provide therapists with a new approach to effectively treating & preventing Lumbrosacral-Hip Complex pain. Therapists will review myofascial assessment by discussing intake information, as well as using observation, movement, palpation, neurological assessment, referral pain and special tests to translate a patient’s clinical info into an effective treatment plan.
The majority of time is spent in hands-on practice of techniques for direct and indirect treatment of the lumbar spine, ribcage, pelvis, lower and upper extremities, as they all relate to back and hip pain. Supine and prone lower and upper extremity stretch protocols are shown, as well as how to apply proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation if necessary. In addition, very specific lumbar/trunk, hip/thigh, and ilial/ischial release techniques will be highlighted.
Dec 14: Myofascial Assessment and Treatment of teh Knee, Ankle, and Foot
This workshop will provide therapists with different Myofascial approaches to effectively treat & prevent Knee, Ankle & Foot pain. Therapists will briefly review Myofascial assessment, by looking at ways to take a client’s intake information, and translate it into an effective treatment plan. The majority of time is spent in hands-on practice of techniques for direct and indirect treatment of the lower extremity (a great continuation of the Lumbrosacral Hip workshop).
Myofascial treatment & joint mobilization of the lower extremity is a necessary therapeutic approach to address sacroiliac dysfunction, back, hip, knee, & ankle pain.
Treatment techniques for the lateral, anterior, and “back” fascial lines are shown, with very specific direction in effectively accessing the gastrocnemius-soleus complex and Achilles’ tendon. In addition, approaches to treating the Crural, Hamstrings, Patellar Fascias, & Fascia Lata of the thigh are shown. Superior & inferior knee joint release, plantar fascial treatment, joint mobilizations/osseous techniques for the lower extremity, and correcting pes cavus/planus round out the list of topics covered.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Treatment of Brachial Neuralgia
This course is an adjunct to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Double Crush Phenomena, which continues the treatment progression proximal to the wrist, forearm, and elbow. Quite often, patients present with both issues, exhibiting Double Crush Phenomena with associated painful signs & symptoms, thus requiring a full arm & neck treatment approach. Many people will suffer from these disorders at some point in their career, due to overuse and poor bio mechanics. This class will give you ideas on how to alleviate and help manage the dysfunction, with an on-going treatment plan, self-care stretches & hydrotherapy homework.
Treatment of the various ailments that occur for anyone who works intensively with their hands, starting with the elbow, then progressing proximally towards the Thoracic Outlet, surrounding musculature and fascias will be shown. Demos will be given on how to release brachial, then SCM, Upper Trapezuis, & Pectoralis superficial fascias, before deeper structures, such as pectoralis minor, anterior & middle scalenes and their attachments are addressed.
Focused decompression of the structures which make up Thoracic Outlet, such as clavicle/ first rib mobilization, as well as coracoclavicular/coracoacromial ligament treatment, and subscapularis release at the fossa as well as the humeral head, can improve shoulder girdle and cervical bio mechanics.
All techniques shown will assist in reversing many of the issues associated with these disorders, and help with long term pain management for the patient. Patient education in self care, hydrotherapy considerations, and stretching/strengthening exercises are also covered, to progress long term treatment goals.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Treatment of Double Crush Phenomena
This course is an adjunct to the workshop on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Treatment of Brachial Neuralgia, which highlighted treatment from the cervical region to the elbow. These upper extremity disorders are becoming more and more prevalent in our tech oriented culture. Quite often, patients present with both issues, exhibiting double crush phenomena, with associated painful signs & symptoms. Many manual therapists will also suffer from these disorders at some point in their careers, due to overuse and poor biomechanics. This class will give you ideas on how to alleviate the pain and help with long term patient management.
Treatment of the various ailments that occur for anyone who works intensively with their hands, starting with the elbow, and surrounding specific musculature and fascias will be shown. Intensive and specific palpative review of forearm attachments is emphasized, in order to successfully apply decompression of the elbow and wrist. Demos will be given on how to release the more general fascial “arm sleeve” via limb unwinding, as well as specific approaches to releasing cubital, flexor & extensor retinacula, and palmar superficial fascias, before deeper structures, such as the interosseous membrane, are addressed.
Focused decompression of the radius & ulna from the humerus, periosteal treatment, mobilizing the carpals, and releasing the Carpal Tunnel & Tunnel of Guyon, will help release pressure on the median and ulnar nerves respectively. Treatment of individual flexor and extensor tendons as well as intrinsic hand muscles, can improve & prevent many of the issues associated with these disorders. Postural and ergonomic suggestions, as well as home care hydrotherapy, stretching & strengthening exercises are recommended for long term relief.

Day 1: Migraine, TMJ Disorder and Cervical Tension
Migraines can strike without warning, leaving the victim debilitated, and suffering from a “migraine hangover” that may last several days. Many patients, also have TMJ Dysfunction and cervical tension, two of the many contributing factors to the severity and duration of the headache. In this advanced workshop, you will learn the intimate dynamic between these disorders, and how to lessen the severity, impact and frequency of migraines by treating these underlying contributors.
Atlanto-occipital decompression, cranial bone suture treatment modalities, as well as cervical alignment techniques, take the pressure off the sensitive cranio-sacral system and meninges. Muscular and osseous techniques in both the intra/extra oral regions, as well as the throat, also help facilitate “opening” within the cranium. Galea Aponeurotica or “scalp” fascial release and ear unwinding, round out the beneficial modalities used to help the patient feel less cranial and TMJ tension overall.
Day 2: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Treatment of the Brachial Neuralgia
This course is an adjunct to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Double Crush Phenomena class, which continues the treatment progression proximal to the wrist, forearm, & elbow. Quite often, patients present with both issues, exhibiting double crush phenomena with associated painful signs & symptoms, thus requiring a full arm and neck treatment approach. Many people will suffer from these disorders at some point in their lifetime, due to overuse and poor biomechanics.
Demos will be given on how to release cervical, brachial, then SCM, Upper Trapezius, & Pectoralis superficial fascias, before deeper structures, such as Pectoralis minor, anterior & middle scalenes and their attachments are addressed, along with treating the Costoclavicular space. Focused decompression of the structures which make up the Thoracic Outlet, such as clavicle/first rib mobilization, as well as coracoclavicular/coracoacromial ligament treatment, and subscapularis release, can improve shoulder girdle and cervical biomechanics.
All techniques shown will assist in reversing many of the issues associated with this pathology, and help with long term pain management for the client. Patient education in self care, hydrotherapy considerations, and stretching/strengthening exercises are also covered, to progress long term treatment goals that will alleviate and help manage this distressing disorder.
